Quotes About Raven

Der Rabe auf seinen rubinroten Schwingen Zwischen den Welten hört Tote er singen, Kaum kennt er die Kraft, kaum kennt er den Preis, Die Macht erhebt sich, es schließt sich der Kreis.

His thumbs stroked her nipples, a slow, erotic brush that sent liquid heat curling through her. "Do you believe I am evil? Touch my mind, little one. It is impossible for me to hide anything from you. I never concealed my true nature from you. You looked upon me once with the eyes of compassion and love. Of acceptance. Has that all been forgotten?

We go to Byron, healer--do you follow?" Jacques asked. Gregori reluctantly left Raven to Mikhail. A woman could not possible be claimed before her eighteenth birthday.
